Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Semantics; Syntax
Call Deadline: 09-Sep-2019
Meeting Description:
Linguistic Evidence has as its specialism the relationship between elicited
data types such as experimentation, field work, and questionnaires and
linguistic theory building in the field of syntax and semantics. The aim of
this biannual conference series is to provide an occasion where linguists who
wish to combine attention to empirical adequacy with theoretical informedness
can meet and learn from each other. The central aim is to promote the
integration of experimental and theory-driven approaches to the study of
language.
Research across disciplinary boundaries in which theoretical and/or
experimental linguists work together with colleagues in adjacent fields is
always welcome, as are meta-studies which address issues around the collection
and processing of elicited data.
Call for Papers:
Linguistic theory enriched by experimental data
Linguistic Evidence 2020 is the tenth in this series, which has run since
2004. The aim of the event is to provide an academic context in which
researchers with an interest in empirically adequate linguistic theory can
meet like-minded colleagues and discuss their work. The unique feature of this
conference is its focus on developing linguistic theory by means of
improvements in the data basis. In particular, the focus is on the added value
for syntactic and semantic theory building of the collection of elicited data.
Many studies report experimental results, but other elicited data types, such
as field work and questionnaires, are equally welcome. For this reason papers
at Linguistic Evidence will usually have both an empirical and a theoretical
component.
Linguistic theory has made remarkable progress in providing accounts of the
sometimes puzzling phenomena of human language. In particular the insight that
the most explanatory approach can be rather more abstract than a superficial
analysis might suggest has proved itself in many cases. Sometimes these
higher-level generalizations are not immediately apparent but are revealed
only in more detailed data. The motivation for the Linguistic Evidence
conference series is to pursue this empirically adequate but theoretically
informed approach. Papers which draw from multiple fields or in which
theoretical and/or experimental linguists work together with colleagues in
adjacent fields are very welcome, as is work which addresses the practical
issues around the collection and processing of elicited data.
At each Linguistic Evidence conference a special session is offered. The title
for this at Linguistic Evidence 2020 is: “Elicited Evidence and the
Syntax/Semantics/Pragmatics Interfaces”. Work related to this topic is thus
particularly welcome.
We invite contributions which employ empirical methods in the collection of
experimental, crosslinguistic or diachronic data to elucidate aspects of
syntactic or semantic theory and their interface phenomena.
We will publish Online Proceedings. Every talk and poster presentation will be
considered for publication within this volume.
Submission Details:
We invite abstracts for 30+15 minute talks and also for poster presentations.
Unless you specify otherwise in your abstract, we shall consider all
submissions first as talks and then as posters. We will not normally accept
more than two abstracts per person, and of these only one may be
single-authored. Abstracts should be no more than 3 pages long (without
pagination!) including data, graphics and references. They should have a 2.5
cm margin on all sides, line spacing of 13 pt, and should be written in 12
point Times New Roman font and preferably sent in as a .docx-document (Latex
possible).
Invited Speakers:
Regine Eckhardt (University of Konstanz)
Mirjam Ernestus (Radboud University Nijmegen)
Rebecca Tollan (University of Delaware)
Deadline for submission: September 09, 2019
Notification of acceptance: end of October 2019
Submission is being managed with EasyChair at
